Printing Landscape w/Gardenware software

I have a small nursery and use Gardenware softwere to print stock labels. The software is coded to print labels landscape even though the printer settings are portrait. I guess the software overrides the printer settings. However, it doesn't work. Even setting the printer on landscape doesn't work. The software company had this problem with another Samsung printer but it fixed itself when the owner ran a disk scan. Don't know why that would effect anything but when something is miraculously fixed the last thing you did becomes the fixer (fixee?). Anyway, if anyone has an insight, please let me know!

I went in and looked at the print settings. When I changed the setting from a left feed to a right feed (these are odd settings in the proprietary software) it fixed the problem even though I was now lying to my printer! Thanks, Wiz.I went in and looked at the print settings.

Hmmm..disk scan? that's a little weird. the reason that a default setting for a printer occurs in propietary software, like Gardenware, is due to that applications settings. You will most likely find a print settings options in the control manager for Gardenware, where you can either set the type of printing(landscape..that's really apropos, eh?) or you can install a selected printer driver. Then you're print manager will make those decisions.

This sounds like a mismatch between the printer settings in the print driver and the label settings in your label design software. In the printer driver - printer preferences- set the physical label dimentions.Also set the printing defaults to the same settings.In you design program ensure your label size is the same as the printer driver and also you can set the print preferences in the same program, ensure they all match and hey presto it works. But if nt then contact www,lancerlabels.co.uk, they will talk you through the problem on the phone. They will not charge for the advice.

Change driver setting from portrait to landscape in properties/printing preferences/options page and apply setting. Verify by printing a test page. If test page prints correctly and your application still prints in portrait mode you will have to find equinalent settings page within the application

As far as the size it sounds like it might not be using the right resolution these come in either 200 or 300 DPI. Make usre your DPI is set to the same as the printer. If the printer is 300 and the design shows 200 then it will print rather small on the label. Not sure about the other issue.

The printer will only print the information it receives. The software and the driver is in charge of sending information to the printer, and if something is wrong is because any form configuration options is not correct.
Try re-installing the software again or load the default parameters. Also try to design a new format.

If you are printing from the included software, it has options for labels with vertical printing. If printing from a third party program, you can go to the dirver settings and change the printing orientation.

Usually if you see the page in the Publisher window is already landscape, it will go landscape in the Printpreview and also in the print out. I just try to imagine what is your problem.
If I am not mistaken, this is what you did:
You have two "small" pages (maybe A5??) and you want to print it in one page of A4. Of course the A4 should be landscape.
Publisher does not have the facility to set 2 pages A5 in one A4 like in Microsoft Word.
The easiest way is just create a new page with A4, then copy the 2 pages (or you called it flyers) and paste it in that A4 landscape page.
Publisher can do print 2 pages A5 in one sheet A4 but the arrangement is as booklet. You can see the choices in File --> Page Setup --> tab "Layout" --> scroll the Publication type.
I do print 2 pages A5 in one sheet with many variations using addition software named "Clickbook".
Let me know if I m wrong in interpret your problem.
